A federal judge in Texas has denied the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) motion to stay its lawsuit against Comerica Bank. The ruling, issued on March 10, 2025, allows the CFPB to proceed with its case, which accuses Comerica of mismanaging a government benefit card program, providing inadequate customer service, and imposing illegal ATM fees. The judge stated that the CFPB did not adequately justify why pausing the case would be in the interest of justice. As a result, the CFPB must now decide whether to continue pursuing the litigation or to withdraw its claims against Comerica Bank.
